I've heard that too. Just saying it's not uncommon for VG to be thinned with alcohol, or to have it in the flavoring...Ethyl Alcohol is in a lot of juices I've seen.
thinning with alcohol seems counter productive as the alcohol would evaporate off .. just saying
There are several reasons that alcohol is used in it...to enhance flavor, to thin VG, and to add TH:

I'm done now
I ordered georgia gold, orange creamsicle, and rose water something or other (I'm a sucker for weird stuff like that). The orange creamsicle is OK, rose water is terrible, and I had very high hopes for the georgia gold tobacco, which is TERRIBLE. I guess someone's buying this stuff though, cause DAMN is it expensive!
Serious steep time is required for some of these juices, I'm talking weeks, not days. Usually they hit their stride at about 3-4 weeks.
Well mine are still sitting in my juice box, and have been there for about 2 weeks. I guess I'll revisit them in another 2 and make my final judgement, but I've had PLENTY of juices that needed a week, 2, even 3 of steeping. The only difference is that other juices that need 2 weeks of steeping taste *OK, but not great* after a week. This VV stuff is absolutely horrid.
I didn't like it either. I was horribly disappointed after having read so many rave reviews. The alcohol smell and taste was so strong that I couldn't even tell any of the flavors apart. I ended up back on analogs while I waited for VG juice from another vendor.
As they say, taste is subjective. Maybe it's the flavors you got. I've had pecan pie (had to get an extra shot after the first go round), blackberry vanilla swirl, Velvet Kona Milkshake and Turkish Coffee.
All but the Turkish coffee were great after 2 days (BB vanilla and PP have to air the alcohol off first for 2 days), although I'm currently letting my Velvet Kona and Turkish Coffee sit for a month before revisiting. I am not liking the coffee yet and I've had that for 2 weeks now.
Edited to add: I have had other vendors that right out of the mailbox were awesome, so I think it may have something to do with the organic flavorings and base really needing to "set up" together. Still, it's certainly not everyone's cup of tea.
It sounds like we have similar tastes. I didn't like any VV flavor I tried but loved all the VCV flavors I have tried. So far those are the only two vendors I've tried since discovering I can't use PG. Will try the others you say you like.
I think one thing worth mentioning here is the price. It's one thing if their juices aren't "great", if they're reasonably priced. They're not. 15ml for $14? Seriously? $1/ml? That's INSANE. I have a hard time believing they're not absolutely cleaning up at these prices (a 15ml bottle cannot POSSIBLY cost more than $2-3 to mix), yet their juice is... well...
EDIT: another thing I noticed: I usually vape about 80/20 VG/PG, cause I like them clouds when I got the VV stuff, it said "100% VG". I thought, OK, great! However, not only did I not find their flavors to my liking, I get SIGNIFICANTLY less vapor from their 100% VG stuff than I do from most vendors 80/20's, or even 50/50 mixes. Not necessarily their fault, but something I found strange.

the Absolute line does not have any alcohol in them, just pure flavors -organic. i just don't see how there ccan be any chemical smell tothem (whereas artificially flavored juices are chemicals...) Not saying I'm not unhappy with VV though, I could barely taste their flavors, but the ones i could get a little hint of I knew i liked. I spent over $350 with them in the span of probably 2 weeks, but they won't get anymore of my money... i wanted more flavor and did not get it. Tooooo weak for that price. i do know that basically their flavors taste good if they would just put enough in. i purchased the 100%VG. (hated the coffees and i an ahuge coffee drinker/snob)
Virgin has a few juices I really like. Black Cherry Marshmallow, White Chocolate Raspberry, and the Strawberry Granita. The Caramel Creme was ok but I have found a lot better caramel/butterscotch flavors. The Kona Milkshake I had to give up because other people thought it stunk when I vaped it. The Rootbeer Float was a total fail for me.
+1 for Ahlusion, VCV and M&P.
I also don't get AiV. Their flavors are weak and every juice tastes 'off' to me because of something they use in their base. I cannot vape their juice.
I do like a few juices from Virgin quite a bit though.

I found I do not like 100% VG from ordering samples from VV, hardly any flavor from any of the 5 I tried and a weird coating (the 100% VG I think) coating left in my mouth....At least now I know and I did only buy the sample size...the bottles will be great for reuse however
I adore most AiV flavors I have tried however

wow, amazing how different taste can be; i thought that Virgin's flavors like Plum, Guava and their coffees were spot on...
